I'm going to sound completely pathetic here but I'm feeling so rubbish after what was meant to be a nice meal out with friends.
Just to give some background, DH is away with work so I was meeting with people who are predominantly his friends and I'm more familiar with his friends wives but still not best mates.
Anyway, I looked around the table when we had all finished eating as I was quite thirsty and noticed a few people still had a bit of their drinks left. My DC were playing at the soft play which I knew I could see from the bar and everyone was sort of chatting so I just got up and went to the bar without saying anything. There was a bit of a queue but the staff seemed to be on a major go slow. I waited a while then popped my head round and could see the group I was with were putting their jackets on.
I left the queue and walked back over to the table. One of DH's friends leaned over the table and said "are we ready are we???" to me. I was just like "yeah"! And started to get my belongings together. Then one of the wives came over and said "Did you have a good poo did you" and then laughed, I get that this was a joke but they'd obviously all been laughing about me being away so long (I was 5 minutes). I explained to said wife that I was just at the bar but had then changed my mind as the queue was taking too long.
I used to be very self conscious as I was bullied by a girl at school many years ago and I really have got over that but that feeling of leaving the table and being talked about brings back horrible memories. I just feel rubbish just now. I feel like that 14 year old girl again hearing sniggers as I'm walking away from the table. I know I'm probably being massively over sensitive but I'm not massively confident in the first place. It just makes me feel really rubbish to think people are making a joke of me the minute my backs turned.
Don't really know why I'm posting but hopefully just getting this off my chest will make me feel a little better.
